The Town Clerk's office:
Issues Marriage Licenses
Issues Hunting and Fishing Licenses,
Issues Certified Copies of Birth Certificates, Death Certificates and Marriage Licenses
Provides election results and regulations,
Issues dog licenses
Provides voter information, and more!
This office is responsible for recording all vitals (births, marriages, and deaths) and issues all certificates of births, marriages, and deaths if the event occurs within the Town of Damariscotta or if the person or persons were residents of Damariscotta at the time of the event.
Maintenance and preservation of such records is a vital part of the Clerk's office responsibilities. Certified copies of these records are available and issued to the public upon request. Any corrections, additions, and/or deletions required are made to these records by the Town Clerk's office in accordance with the State Of Maine's Office of Vital Records.
Certified copies of the records are available for purchase. The State of Maine sets the fees of $10.00 for the first copy and $5.00 for each additional copy of the same record ordered at the same time.
The Clerk's office is also responsible for holding and supervising elections. This is not a task that can be done without the generous help of the dedicated Damariscotta residents. I would like to thank all of the Election Clerks who volunteer their time year after year, often assisting with two or three elections per year. Without their help the elections would not go as smoothly as they do. Once the polls close at 8:00 p.m., the counting of all ballots cast begins. This is also a position in which I must depend greatly on the residents of Damariscotta.
Because this job begins at 8:00 p.m. and continues to the early morning hours, it is a position that is extremely difficult to fill. I often depend on the same residents to help out with the counting, and thankfully they continue to assist with this job. Thank you to all of those who lend a hand with the elections. Without you it would be impossible! If anyone is interested in working the elections, please contact Cheryl Pinkham at 563-5168.
In addition, the Clerk's office sells hunting and fishing licenses to Maine residents and non-residents; issues dog licenses. Snowmobiles, ATV's, boats, and automobiles are registered at the Town Clerk's office. Due to the length of time it takes to process new vehicle registrations, we are unable to process these within a half an hour of closing times.
